Bleach: Getting Stronger Starting from Teaching at the Spiritual Arts Academy.

"What are you doing? Don't block my way. I still need to go back and copy it a hundred times!" Cilantro Mochi frowned.

"Hahaha, who told you to ignore me? I've already reminded you twice!" Kensei Rokusha couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh, it's you..." Only then did Kana Mochi notice the silver-haired boy, who was the classmate she had fought with at the beginning of the semester.

"I am Kensei Muguruma," Kensei Muguruma introduced himself.

"Coriander from Mole City," Cilantro politely introduced herself.

"I know," Kensei Rokusha said, barely suppressing a laugh.

"I thought so too." Cilantro rolled her eyes. How could she not know? The entire grade probably remembered who Cilantro was just now.

"Machi, we didn't settle our score last time. I heard yesterday that your wooden sword broke because the wooden sword in the sword room was of poor quality. I don't accept that victory. We need to have a rematch." Kensei Muguruma felt that the previous fight was unfair, so he found two decent wooden swords and wanted to fight again.

Although that battle wasn't the one he wanted to fight, since it had already begun, he had to see it through to the end.

Cilantro's defeat to the wooden sword was an unfair victory for him.

"Huh? No way, I'm in a hurry." Cilantro thought this person was crazy; that matter was already over, why did she still come to challenge her to a fight?

She didn't have time to play with him. Besides being punished by copying books, she also had to go to Shikatoshi-sensei's place for training (and free meals).

Kensei Rokusha grinned and said confidently:

"Don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time."

Chapter 13 Home Delivery

Kensei Rokusha held a wooden sword, staring intently at the woman before him.

Judging from their last encounter, this is an opponent he should take seriously.

However, he is very confident of winning this match.

He is stronger than his opponent, and if he makes good use of this advantage, he can end the battle as quickly as possible.

With a loud shout, Rokusha Kensei gripped his wooden sword tightly and charged forward, slashing upwards from the right side.

thump—

A dull thud resounded.

Liu Chequanxi was sent flying backwards.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Kensei Rokusha collapsed to the ground, his face filled with disbelief.

Kensei Muguruma couldn't accept this result. Last week, when school started, he was fighting his opponent to a standstill, but today he was defeated in one move!

Kana Mochi rested her wooden sword on her shoulder: "Hey~ I've been working like crazy lately... practicing swordsmanship!"

Kensei Muguruma felt a sharp pain in his hand and couldn't understand: "How could your strength have increased so much in just one week!"

Kensei Muguruma felt that his spiritual pressure and strength were stronger than Kana Azajo's, but the current result was completely the opposite, which he could not accept.

"That's because I've mastered the technique of controlling spiritual pressure. I use my spiritual pressure better than you!" Kana Mochishiro was beaming. Her hard work over this period of time had paid off, and she felt quite pleased with herself.

"Spiritual pressure control techniques? Tch, truly a family tradition. I've lost this time." Kensei Rokusha was bored and got up to leave.

"What? I learned at the Shikatori Dojo, it has nothing to do with my family." Kana Azaki corrected Kensei Rokusha before turning and leaving. "Goodbye, I'm going to the dojo for a free meal...time to train!"

After the battle, Kana Mochi had forgotten about being punished by copying lines.

"Wait!" Kensei Rokugurashi called out to the other person, "What does the Shikatori Dojo you mentioned have to do with Shikatori-sensei?"

...

"Is this the Shikatori Dojo?" Kensei Rokusha looked at the somewhat dilapidated entrance.

The "Shikatori-ryu" plaque above the gate looks quite old, with many of the carved wooden characters missing.

If he hadn't witnessed the results of Cilantro Mochi's training, he wouldn't have believed that one could actually learn something from such a dilapidated training ground.

When he learned that Kana Mochijo's training at the Shikatori Dojo had been so effective, he couldn't sit still any longer.

He has a strong competitive spirit; once he loses, he really wants to win back.

Therefore, Kensei Muguruma decided to follow Kana Azuma to the Shikatori Dojo and beg Shikatori-sensei to accept him as a disciple.

“Yes, this is the master’s dojo.” Kana Mochi saw that the door was unlocked, so she pushed it open and called out, “Master, I’m coming in!”

"Come in, the door's unlocked."

The voice of Shikatoshi Nanatsuki could be heard coming from inside the house.

Kensei Muguruma felt a little uneasy, fearing that Shikatori-sensei would refuse to take him on as a disciple.

Unlike Kana Momoshiro, who was born into nobility, he came from Rukongai and was penniless, unable to afford the tuition for apprenticeship.

The two passed through the entrance hall and walked along the side wall to the courtyard behind the temple.

The backyard wasn't big, and as soon as they entered, they saw Shichigatsuki in the yard.

He looked up and was gazing at the red maple tree in the yard.

"The teacher is practicing swordsmanship, let's wait a bit," Cilantro whispered a reminder.

"Sword technique?" Kensei Rokusha observed Shikatori's movements expectantly.

July ignored the two of them because he sensed the wind.

I placed my hand on the knife handle as a gentle breeze carried away some slightly withered leaves.

Clang——

The sword light suddenly rose, and the leaves floating in the air all appeared with neat cross-shaped cuts, splitting into four pieces, which drifted away in different directions.

"Hoo—" July exhaled, flipped her wrist, and sheathed her sword.

After his last encounter with Unohana, his understanding of "Thousand Pieces Unloaded" deepened, and he gained some insights.

In order to grasp this feeling, he has been intensifying his practice of "thousand pieces unloading" these past few days.

In July, she glanced at the sword skills section of the panel.

Previously, the thousand-piece unloading technique was at the beginner level, but now it has been improved to the proficient level, and I feel that I am only one step away from mastering it.

July felt that sparring with Bayunzhai and sparring with Maozhihua were completely different experiences.

Unohana's sword was too ruthless, putting him under a lot of pressure.

However, July also gained a lot from this battle.

Kensei Rokusha stared wide-eyed, speechless for a long time.

He couldn't even see Shikatoshi's movements clearly; before he could react, the leaves that had been floating up had already split into four pieces.

If he were struck like that, his fate would probably be no better than those leaves.

Shikatori Dojo really does have something special!

But now the problem is, how can he get Shikato-sensei to accept him as a disciple?

"Teacher, what's that move called?" Cilantro clapped her hands and said, "Wow, that's amazing—she managed to unleash so many slashes in an instant!"

"This move is called 'Thousand Slashes,' a very powerful sword technique. If you can master it, you can unleash hundreds or even thousands of slashes in an instant," July explained with a smile. "Once you've built a solid foundation, I'll teach you this move. Today, we'll learn 'Instant Strike,' a relatively easy sword technique to pick up."

"Kensei Muguruma..." July was actually a little surprised that Kana Momoshiro would bring Kensei Muguruma along.

Kensei Rokusha and Shinji Heiko were both on his watchlist, and he wanted to find an opportunity to take them as his disciples.

According to observations in July, Kensei Muguruma is not a student who likes to talk to girls. He also doesn't talk much with Kana Azajo during breaks, so they don't seem to be friends.

"Master Shikatori!" Kensei Rokugurashi suddenly knelt down in a dogeza posture. "I wish to learn kendo from you. Please accept me as your disciple!"

Unable to afford the cost of becoming an apprentice, Kensei Rokusha decided to seek apprenticeship in the most sincere way possible.

July was slightly taken aback; these six cartloads of Kensei had actually delivered themselves to her doorstep.

It really surprised him.

However, this saved him trouble. He had originally intended to take Rokusha Kensei as his disciple, so naturally he wouldn't refuse at this time.

"Seeing how sincere you are, I will accept you as my disciple. However, after entering my sect, you must respect your teachers and elders and never do anything to betray your master or ancestors. As long as you are loyal to the sect and diligently cultivate, I will teach you the way of the sword," July said solemnly.

"Yes, teacher, I will not let you down!" Kensei Rokusha said excitedly, he did not expect things to go so smoothly.

Kensei Rokusha requests to become a disciple; will you accept him as your personal apprentice?

July looked at the text that suddenly appeared in front of her, and without hesitation, immediately confirmed it and accepted Rokusha Kensei as her disciple.

[Successfully recruited Liu Chequanxi as his personal disciple]

[Kensei Rokusha's reputation level has increased; his current reputation level is Friendly.]

Chapter 14 Sword Technique Instruction

In July, he also sparred with Kensei to check his swordsmanship skills.

Kensei Rokusha came from Rukongai, and without a tutor to lay a foundation for him, his basic skills were not as good as those of Kana Mochijo.

So in July, he continued to practice the basics of swordsmanship, such as stances and footwork.

However, Kensei's spiritual pressure was higher than Kana's, so he was capable of practicing the Sailfish Stance. Therefore, in July, he had Kensei practice the Sailfish Stance after completing the basic training.

Kensei had no objections and began practicing according to July's instructions.

Meanwhile, in July, Quana plans to start teaching her swordsmanship.

He took two rolls of straw mats out of the house.

"Cilantro, you need to use a regular wooden knife to cut the upright mat in half." July rolled up and tied the mat, indicating that Cilantro should try it first.

"This is pretty simple, isn't it?" Cilantro thought it was easy to do. After mastering the technique of controlling spiritual pressure, she could unleash even greater power than before. Cutting this straw mat would be a piece of cake.

"Hah—" Cilantro gripped the wooden knife with both hands, shouted loudly, and slashed at the straw mat with the upper part of her body.

However, the straw mat did not break in two as she had expected. Instead, after being hit hard, it folded up from the middle, causing the straw mat to only fold into a curved shape, and the wooden knife did not cut into the straw mat.

"Uh—it failed..." Cilantro stared blankly at the wooden sword and straw mat. "The wooden sword wasn't sharp enough..."
